About

NOT YOUR TYPICAL RACING GAME You’re a car with legs! Race through hundreds of unique levels: jump, fly with jetpacks, climb tall buildings, deliver packages, and so pretty much everything you can’t do in a normal racing game. BE A CAR AND EXPLORE THE WORLD It’s not all about the need for speed. Explore the many islands to meet new friends, find hidden treasures or solve quirky puzzles. Hint: Look behind the waterfalls! LOADS OF WAYS TO RACE You will be racing, but it's never you expect. Hint: Just go with the flow OKAY, IT GETS REALLY SILLY You’ll be flipping burgers, fishing, swimming, and singing CAR-aoke! Hint: Don’t talk to the laser cow

    Fans of the franchise will get a good session from WHAT THE CAR?, and I can see that it’ll do well in the streaming category as well, especially with the fan-made levels already reaching ridiculous proportions. If you don’t gel within the first ten minutes, there’s a good chance this isn’t the game for you, and that’s alright. But if you have a little spark of joy after your first gold crown, follow that vibe and keep on driving. Your tires – or feet, or bears, or roller skates – are taking you on a journey of a lifetime.

    What the Car looks darn great, it sounds wacky as hell and is about as much fun as I’ve had with a game this year so far.

    If we’re measuring the success of What the Car? by laughs per minute, it’s a pretty sweet ride. The overworld eventually wears out its welcome, and some of the harder levels feel a little too frustrating for a comedy game. However, as an overall lighthearted experience, this game kicks it into high gear.

    El humor de What the Car? es (como el de What the Golf?, que en su día analizó con gran acierto mi compañera Marta) blanco, encantador, inofensivo hasta la ofensa, más Fred Basset que Gardfield, y no porque intente morder pero no tenga el diente afilado: más bien porque la idea de un mordisco desdentado con una encía llena de babas le resulta desternillante.

    ステージによっておバカに姿を変える車がネタ的におもしろい！その上、アクションも楽しい！ハンドル操作に若干クセがあるかも…。けど、慣れればイメージ通り動かせるようになるぞ。

    C'è del metodo nella follia di What the Car, così come avevamo visto già nei precedenti di Triband: nella distruzione e presa in giro degli elementi tipici del gioco di guida emerge una struttura che segue regole solide e la costruzione di un gameplay in grado di funzionare in maniera rigorosa, pur nella sua assurdità. C'è da farsi delle belle risate, ma progredendo per i livelli diventa una sfida da prendere anche sul serio, anche se forse risulta meno strutturata e coerente rispetto a What the Golf.

    Apple Arcade game that appeals to toddler gamers

    Wait, don't let your toddler play this game coz you won't be able to get your phone back. Kidding aside, this game is funny and weird in so many ways! At first, you just try to survive driving in a perilous path with four wheels. I complained a bit because I couldn't properly steer the car away from cliffs (but it's the noob gamer in me, really, because when the pro gamer in our home took my phone to help me get through a level, he did so like it's a breeze.) Anyway, relaunching to another race is easy so you wouldn't mind. When did it turn hilarious? When wheels were replaced by legs! My son couldn't stop giggling. If the humor appeals to my serious kid, maybe the devs did something right. But they didn't stop with 2 legs. I'll stop here though. Check out the game and see for yourself!
